Q&A Following the Showcase with moderator Roma Sur!
Roma Sur is a screenwriter and a documentary filmmaker, with twelve years of teaching Screenwriting. Sur is delighted to be a programing curator, on the Dragon Boat Film Festival committee, 2023.
Sur found her niche in narrating cross-cultural stories that channel her Asian American immigrant experience of living in the US for twenty years, and her childhood in cosmopolitan India. She comes from a family of fierce independent women, and they often form the core of her writing. Sur writes young adult and female driven dramas with levity. Her most recent project, a 38 minute documentary, titled MAA, had its Colorado premiere at Dragon Boat Film Festival, 2022. Her documentary titled Three Worlds One Stage is currently streaming on Amazon and iTunes among other digital platforms. Sur currently teaches Screenwriting and Film Production at the University of Denver's Media, Film and Journalism department. |

Dirty Rotten Tofu & the Gohan Girls
Culture Highlighted: Asian American
In 1880’s Colorado, we meet the three western heroines, Sushi, Mochi, and Ume on the run from bounty hunters hired by their former captor, Tofu, a ruthless crime boss in Denver’s Chinatown. They realize there is
only one way to permanently gain their freedom-- kill Tofu.
The overconfident Sushi directs Mochi and Ume to keep the bounty hunters busy while she returns to Denver to kill the dirty, rotten sonavabitch. Mochi looks upon this plan skeptically. Ume, who can’t speak, angrily rides away on her horse in disgust.
Will this plan succeed, fail or ultimately kill them all?
